“Taste the View,” the annual fall fundraiser of the non-profit organization dedicated to sustaining agriculture in western Massachusetts, will take place on Sept. 14, from 6-9 p.m. in the barn renovated for an events venue at Quonquont Farm in Whately.

The buffet dinner, catered by the Lone Wolf restaurant and catering in Amherst, will feature fresh foods grown and donated by local farms.

“What’s unique (about the event) is that it’s a locally-grown dinner for over 200 people that connects farmers to the community to strengthen local agriculture,” said Philip S. Korman, executive director of the South Deerfield-based Community Involved in Sustaining Agriculture.

This is the first year the event will take place on a farm; last year it took place in the garden house at Look Park in Northampton. Previously the event took place at the Three County Fairgrounds in Northampton and drew 500 people to sample foods provided by farms, restaurants and specialty food producers.

This year there are 200 seats available for the buffet dinner.

“We wanted to be on a farm to do this event. It feels wonderful to be able to do this,” Korman said, noting that Quonquont Farm had the resources and vision to bring more people to the farm through the transformation of the barn to a gathering space. “It’s a beautiful farm with an incredible view.”

That view includes a blueberry patch, apple orchard, pond, hayfield and hill beyond.

The former dairy and stock farm now features the barn once used to house animals or to store hay that has been renovated into space for events.

“We have a nice venue and like to share it with the community supporting CISA,” said Ann Barker, an owner of Quonquont Farm. “CISA has done an incredible job promoting local food and supporting local farms.”

At the dinner, people will “taste the very best that’s grown in the valley” while connecting with farmers and other community members, Korman said. People will meet some of the people who grow their food, and people who grow the food will be appreciated.

The dinner event also will include live and silent auctions featuring items like a pie a month, restaurant and vacation gift certificates, maple syrup, a home garden installation and a one-hour massage.

Tickets for the Taste the View are $110 and include dinner and local beer and wine.

Proceeds from the event will be used for general support of Community Involved in Sustaining Agriculture which connects people to local growers, ensures local food is available to everyone including those who are low income, promotes excellence in farm business practices and inspires people to become more involved in local agriculture.
